I got both my COVID and flu shots today in New Jersey! [View all]

I filled out the form on the CVS website and they never asked me about any current medical issues.

I am in the 12-64 age group with no qualifying underlying medical conditions, but I would have lied about it if I needed to.

No prescription needed, either!

I checked into CVS and was done in 5 minutes. I normally receive my shots in my left arm (because I'm right-handed) but this year I got it in my right arm because I tore my rotator cuff in my left arm and have been going through months of physical therapy.

Now both arms are sore.

The shots? I barely felt them.

I'm glad I live in one of the sane states in the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. I posted about that yesterday:

Also if you're in New Jersey, vote for Mikie Sherrill for Governor! I would be sad to lose her as my rep, but she'd be a fine Governor and we don't want SHITARELLI for Governor because he's totally MAGA and would probably pull New Jersey out of that health collaborative!

KEEP NEW JERSEY SANE
